Gu Muqi looked at the beautifully made skirts in front of him, and said to Zhinan, "This dress was originally intended to be given to the sisters in the palace when the concubine was a nobleman, and she wanted to attract favors." But now that I have sat in the position of this concubine, I have a good relationship with the palace, and I know almost everything about the people who are really good in the eyes of the palace. ”

She beckoned to the maids beside her, and asked them to take off their clothes and put them in their bedrooms, and when she was free today, she would choose them carefully.

The maids in the house, one after another, took heavy handmade clothes and went down in response to Gu Muqi's instructions.

Gonggong Li saw that there were now Gu Muqi and Zhinan and him left in this room, including the three of them. Thinking that now was the time for Zhinan to speak, he hurriedly retired and waited at the door.

He shook the dust in his hand, lowered his head and retreated.

Gu Muqi saw that only she and Zhinan were left in the hall, and hurriedly asked Zhinan in a low voice, "Miss Zhinan, you just gave me that dress, and let me touch the position, but there is a secret letter?" ”

Zhinan didn't make a sound and nodded.

Gu Muqi carefully took the clothes that he had just hidden behind him in front of him, and carefully spread them around his sleeves to look for the rice paper he had just touched.

She looked around and saw that there was no one else, quickly pulled out the letter sewn into the clothes, and couldn't wait to open it and look at it.

Seeing the few numbers that Gu Muqing wrote down to himself in the letter, his eyes turned red for a while.

She looked at Zhinan, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Sister, has you forgiven me?" ”

Zhinan was afraid that he would lose too many words, so he nodded.

Gu Muqi has been thinking about this matter day and night in the palace since the accident, and now he finally got the opportunity, saw the news that his sister passed to him, and regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, he walked down the steps, pulled up Zhinan, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked anxiously.

"Miss Zhinan, tell me a little more, what is said in my sister's letter?"

Zhinan looked at Gu Muqi's urgent appearance, she thought about it helplessly, and had to whisper to Gu Muqi. "Madame, in fact, after sobering up, carefully thought about the reason for this matter, what was going on, and asked me to find an opportunity to tell you in detail. At present, I came to this palace, mainly to play a bitter love scene with my wife, and made a scene where my wife abused me in the Xuanwang Mansion and then I came to the palace to join you. First, there is something strange about this matter, and Mrs. believes that this matter must be done by the palace. ”

She looked at Gu Muqi's surprised eyes, and then said, "The second is that two bodies that look almost identical have been found now, one is the one who entered the Prime Minister's Mansion with the provincial relatives and stabbed the lady, and the other is the one that the leader of Fengqi inadvertently found in this harem. ”

Gu Muqi covered his mouth in surprise when he heard this, "Found in the harem?" ”

Zhinan nodded, and whispered in Gu Muqi's ear and said to her, "Madam thinks that you are not safe at this time, I will come to the palace to take care of the inside and outside, and the prince has been carefully investigating this matter outside the palace." I overheard Commander Fengqi chatting with the prince, and he also talked about a mysterious man in black. ”

Gu Muqi nodded, looked around vigilantly, and said to Zhinan, "It's really not easy to see this matter, the water is very deep." ”

Zhinan continued what he had just said and said to Gu Muqi, "Niangniang, when I entered the palace just now, Gonggong Li accepted me as a righteous daughter. I was originally the personal maid of the princess of Xuanwangfu, and my wife is your own sister, and what happened during this time is almost known to everyone. After a while, when the maids who sent the clothes come back, we must put on a show, I don't want to be persecuted in the Xuanwang Mansion, I am bent on running to you, you don't want my drama in order to avoid suspicion. ”

Gu Muqi frowned and asked Zhinan, "I don't want you either, so how can you enter the palace?" ”

Zhinan looked at the direction of the door and said to Gu Muqi, "Just now I have already expressed my willingness to serve you to Gonggong Li, and I think that at that time, Gonggong Li will definitely come forward to speak for me." Father-in-law Li is the old man in the palace, after all, he has prestige here, you listen to Father-in-law Li's words and then accept me, not only satisfying, but also selling Father-in-law Li's personal favor. Wouldn't it be more beautiful? ”

Gu Muqi nodded, she didn't expect Zhinan to think about her plan so well. She listened to the sound of footsteps outside, and hurriedly threw the secret letter in her hand into the burning brazier in the room.

The soft rice paper burned to ashes in the blazing fire in the blink of an eye.

Gu Muqi looked at the burned place, and his heart was mixed. She didn't expect her sister to be so open-minded and generous, and when she returned home from her own province, she could come up with these things so rationally when she suffered the pain of losing her child. And he can also arrange the future with the maids around him.

She suddenly felt that she was no longer the most mature and stable Gu Muqi in the family. The sister who used to be naughty and mischievous has now become so reasonable and resourceful. She couldn't help but secretly sigh that she was not cultivated by her father and the emperor, and in the face of this matter, her first thought was simply to investigate the case.

But after sitting in the position of this concubine, he did not make any real useful substantive help. I will only think crankily every day and add trouble to myself.

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhinan who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, gave her a resolute and affirmative look, and she whispered to Zhinan. "Miss Zhinan, I will follow your direction to cooperate with you in a while, if there is a slight offense, you will be more responsible."

Zhinan nodded, looked at Gu Muqi and said, "Niangniang, Zhinan came here today with the belief that he must succeed, in this huge imperial city, if he takes a wrong step today, he may die in Jiuquan." ”

Gu Muqi was just about to speak, when he heard that the maids outside had finished delivering their clothes and walked towards their main hall. With the sound of the door opening, Zhinan knelt back to where he had been kneeling.

"Tell me, you have worked so hard to make so many exquisite clothes for this palace, what do you want this palace to reward you? Jewelry or gold and silver treasures? Gu Muqi squinted his eyes and looked at Gonggong Li, who was leaning against the door quietly, and said to Zhinan.

Zhinan knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Zhinan doesn't want these things outside his body, Zhinan just wants to stay in the palace, serve by the side of the concubine, and make clothes for the concubine for a lifetime." ”

Gonggong Li listened to Zhinan at the door and finally said what he wanted to say, and hurriedly walked into the hall with his head down.
